Synopsis

The act of looking out, starting with gazing at things outside the ‘gate’ which in turn becomes an observation, provokes a question and even ventures into an abyss. Daegeum (traditional Korean bamboo flute) artist Cha Seungmin and visual artist Lee Seonguk’s ‘Eye Gate’ starts questioning the possibility of two different forms of media to have an equal status. It then gazes at, contemplates and observes what is beyond the 〈gate〉 (It is not only about eyes and a window but also about a question and answer.) and discovers the relationship among the beings it encounters that are projected and mutually responsive. Finally, the discovery becomes a visual and aural presentation as a piece.
